Actor Jussie Smollett “purposely misled” Chicago police when he claimed that two men who allegedly attacked him were white, a civil lawsuit filed by the city of Chicago claims.
The city filed the suit on Thursday after the “Empire” actor missed a deadline to reimburse authorities for the hundreds of hours of overtime put in by the Chicago Police Department (CPD) in the course of investigating the alleged underlying hate crime. The city demanded Smollett pay $130,000, but he failed to do so.
